I’m trying to lobby to get AzureADconnect officially supported on Essentials 2012 r2 and 2016. This is a “it works” but they think we’re going to try to run both the Office 365 wizard included in Essentials as well as Azure AD connect. This is a pick one or the other, you can’t do both. But given that Microsoft is leaning very strongly to where Azure AD connect is where they want us to go, it makes no sense that it’s not supported on Essentials which is (supposedly) their entry product into cloud services.

If you automatically approve security updates in WSUS you will find that both the security and security/nonsecurity bundles will be deemed applicable and will want to install. To decline one or the other do the following:

Be aware this is an extremely temporary fix. The next feature release will replace that dll for sure. If there is a security update to RDP, this will also replace the dll. So be prepared for it to not stick.

I’m still trying to work with the Essentials team to get this understood to see what our long term options are.
